What a lovely and quaint cemetery tour! I especially loved seeing the vibrant and beautiful lilacs and yellow blooms juxtaposed against the cemetery’s sense of death.
Such interesting tombstones too. What an interesting read, Autumn!

What an amazing journey you took through this cemetery, and the grave markers all amaze me! I wish I could still walk well and far enough to visit the cemetery of some of my ancestors but I will have to settle for photos such as these. Those lilacs are simply divine too! This was profoundly interesting and I enjoyed it,

This is so interesting and your pictures are fabulous, they provide a really good feel for the place and I do love that name. Who wouldn’t want to be buried in Pleasant Valley? These posts must take you such a long time to research and put together. Thank you for that, it is so nice to read about it all and learn about the area. You picked the perfect photo to start the post, the lilac is stunning and it frames the view perfectly. I have been enjoying all the lilac near me these last couple of weeks. Unfortunately it is now fading, which is alway sad. I have just recently purchased a lilac stamp too and have made a card using it. I hope it will get posted sooner or later. Thank you for educating me about the joys of cemeteries and the history of Vernon. I walk through my local cemetery because I love the trees. We have an old and a new cemetery. The old one is full of Yew trees and the new one is much more open but does have some stunning cherry trees, which get better as each year passes. xx

Oh, that was lovely, Autumn, thank you! I really enjoyed reading about Vernon, and I realize – I have been there, as a child. My family spent a summer in the area around Kalamalka Lake – I even remember seeing a big paddlewheel-style boat, I think.

Wonderful article, full of your poetry.
